A gently comedic yet melancholic portrait of a retired teacher grappling with loss of purpose and identity, finding unexpected moments of connection and meaning in ordinary life.

Czech literature teacher Josef Tkaloun, who is past retirement age, realises one day that he no longer understands his pupils, and so he quits… dramatically. What he does not predict is that in doing this he will lose his sense of place in society.
